	In Mercurial (and AFAIK Git), branches and repositories are
completely different concepts. A repository is a folder on your hard
drive. A branch is a history line inside a repository so it's not
that different from Bazaar. The only difference I see is that Bazaar
allows you to clone a single branch (i.e to create a repository that
will only contain that single branch) whereas a clone of a Mercurial
repository will always contain all the branches that the parent had
(don't know about Git).
